curry laksa noodle soup?

There are few things I miss about Washington DC, where I recently moved back from. But a Malaysian restaurant there had a curry laksa noodle soup that I was addicted to. (Basically chicken or tofu w/lots of vegetables and noodles in a rich delicious coconut curry broth.)

Are you referring to Malaysia Kopitiam? Their chicken curry laksa soup was my go-to food when I was feeling under-the-weather. I know New Taste Good on Bayard has it, and I've wanted to try it so if you do please report back!

Okay-- I think this is the restaurant that I'm talking about. It's pretty far east of the N/R train canal st stop. It's located in a walk-through arcade/tunnel-- I went there with an Indonesian/Chinese friend who knows a lot about malaysian good-stuff:

I just visited Nyonya. It was actually decent. For some reason, they only had asam laksa (without bunga kantan - but I'm used to that by now) and no offering of creamy coconut curry laksa which I much prefer. Anyway, asam laksa (only $5.95!) was strong-flavored, rich, and sour as asam laksa should be.
